Re: Green stools

Welcome to the forum!

There area lot of different causes for green poop. It can be a normal color variation, it can be caused by oversupply, inadequate milk intake, illness, or allergy/intolerance to something in mom's diet. In a baby who is being fed on demand (or at least 10-12 times per day if a newborn, and 8 or more times per day if over 6 weeks) and is otherwise healthy, happy, and growing normally, green poop is not a health concern, particularly if it only happens from time to time.

Re: Green stools

Since she's so little, I would take an observational approach for now. If the baby starts having more green poops, or her poops turn consistently green, then revisit the issue. But for now, just roll with it!
